Mephisto Genetics Black Friday... to early?

[gaz29]

The next few years are going to be chock full of groundbreaking autos. Enough said :smoking:

Mephisto are already full of groundbreaking auto's..! Blazing they're own trail, so to speak.
I still mainly grow photo-period strains , but I've been growing/buying more auto's from mephisto and I enjoy growing them as they're very much similar in every department -(even yield in lots of grows) -to potent photos'..
I'm looking forward to growing ALL my mephisto beans, problem is WHAT ones to grow next lol ..
Happy growing
Gaz

Thanks again. Been looking over that site all morning, they've got a lot of things that cater to our needs lol Shipping isn't too bad either. You may have shown me my 2nd favorite place to spend money lol

No problem, depending on your method for growing, a lot of stuff can be found at local feed stores as well. I use Clackamass Cootz soil recipe when I need more soil and recycle it each year since I currently only grow outdoors. I usually top dress each plant with fresh vermicompost from my worm bin and now there are tons of worms throughout the soil and they make the magic happen.

I'm working on getting there myself with outdoors. My friend has a worm farm/bunny cage recycling station. If that makes sense. Lol the rabbits are above the worm farm, what they don't eat gets composted below and shit on by the rabbits. It's great stuff, wish there was a way to see the npk. He starts a lot of vegetables and shit directly in it.

The worms make all the macro and micro nutrients more available to the plants, I grow a lot of vegetables throughout the year and while the cannabis does get a little extra TLC, both get the same amendments more or less. Kelp meal, alfalfa meal, and neem meal teas or top dressing being the main additions.

I've got a heap of used soil I've started to save because I hate to see it go to waste. Can't I use that as like a base for compost and the worms? Some of it I use just to top off flower beds and stuff like that, but I still end up with quite a bit of it every year.

What type of soil do you have and what do you add to it? Do you want to turn the soil into compost or use the soil as bedding/food for worms to make vermicompost?

I use promix bx, premier peat moss, [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] perlite, and garden lime. Only about half tablespoon per gallon. Nutrients I use fox farms trio and solubles, Nectar for the Gods. I flush everything really good before it's thrown into the bin.
I wouldn't mind doing a little bit of both. I've got quite a bit. As far as the worm farm goes though, how well do they hold up in the winter? My friend does it also I never thought to ask him. Lol

I would definitely talk to your friend if you're interested, he would probably even hook you up with some worms to get it all started. There are also many good resources online about vermicompost that should help you get going if you are interested. You would probably have to keep the worm bin inside or insulated if it gets really cold where you are.

Thanks, his worms are free to roam when it's cold. They're outdoors in a lean-to shed under a rabbit cage. I assume they do their natural thing to stay warm.
So what do you suggest the compost route? Or would the worm farm Pretty much take care of both?

Having your own worm bin makes great compost, however, using your old soil to start or keep one going wouldn't be the best route. If you wanted to turn your old soil into compost you would probably need to make a good size pile of soil and mix it with a lot of fallen leaves and/or layer it with a bale of hay from the feed store that contains oat, alfalfa, barley and the like while also layering some amendments such as kelp meal and alfalfa meal. Mix all of it up really well and leave it until the spring and see what it looks like then. Most likely earthworms and other shredding insects would get into it and start putting in work breaking it down. As with most things, quality in equals quality out.
